The 2020 Nissan Titan is a Value Packed Big Truck with an Upgraded V8 & 9-Speed Transmission

[@theredline]

Good morning and happy Friday! As of today, Nissan has still not released final pricing and fuel economy but towing and payload capacities for the 2020 Titan were announced... Max towing is 9,370 for a King Cab 2WD and 1,680 for payload on the same trim. The chart we posted during the under the hood scene with the spec numbers are relating to a 2020 Titan XD. Nissan says final pricing numbers should become available closer to the on-sale date early next year. We also spoke with an engineer at the media drive and he did confirm the new 9-speed transmission is a Jatco designed unit with significantly upgraded internals for durability and much closer spaced gear ratios for improved acceleration, especially during towing.

Ommmmmmmggggg. I have waited for this day all my life. Thank you

[@seantaylor2683]

You've got things backwards. Manufacturers aren't adding all this tech to justify the higher prices, they're adding these pointless gimmicks to artificially inflate the prices because things on the options list have much higher margins

If Nissan put in more automatics than cvts they would probably not be so hated.

Holy fuck yes, I wouldve bought the Maxima if it was an auto, they know damn well the cvt will give out at 80k hauling that V6. Literal trash.

[@ministerc9513]

with such high MPG being required, manufacturers are forced to implement the newest engineering and technology whether it's reliable or not.

[@DMCarReviews]

@@ministerc9513 A good 8-10 speed will yield better numbers than a CVT. New CVT's have integrated shift points, which take the whole point of having a CVT.

Well y’all gonna give Nissan the money to Implement he transmissions on the cars?? They already invested heavily in their transmissions and ya know what they have gotten MUCH better the newer Nissan maximas drive very well, but whatever you say boomer.

[@DMCarReviews]

@@fancyma452 You don't need additional money to implement. Just buy Aisin or ZF transmissions and put them in. If FCA can do that, so can Nissan. Not hard! Older Maxima's had automatics, and there would be absolutely nothing difficult to use them.

I initially had my doubts on whether Nissan had done enough to increase sales of the Titan, but it looks like they listened to customers. I'm highly impressed with the interior. That infotainment screen is crisp and snappy! Thank goodness they're keeping it fresh. I still think they should have put out the Warrior even if in limited numbers to get their truck brand noticed again and generate renewed interest. The bottom line is increased sales

I drove a F350 6.0 super duty crew cab 8’ bed for 14 years and this was my first Titan. The most comfortable truck I’ve owned. And I’ve owned RAM 1500 and a Chevy 2500. Options, engine, transmission and price.... you can’t beat it!

[@2W3X4YZ5]

It’s beautiful. A return to a more conventional styling model. Refreshing to see another manufacturer apply more focus to what customers have been asking for, vs “this is what we offer, we don’t care if it is a POS, take it or leave it!” Overall very impressive, but I’m still disappointed with what came with the Renault partnership. I’d wager $100 that was the source of “cvt, cvt, cvt”we have been seeing of late. Thanks for another great review.

[@caliboyrob]

I've been seeing more and more on the road, so i think they finally finding their stride. That is one heavy truck though PHEW!!!!

[@ttgamer8850]

The door slam sounds like my dad's old navara. It also had wind noise at the c pillar. Otherwise great car. GM better look out. For some reason the grill sorta reminds me of a denali. Nissan did a good job lets hop it doesnt cost 80k

[@HanabiiiUwU]

Pre-refresh, I think this truck was a let-down. It was weak in almost every aspect compared to the competition. Now? Well, this definitely looks better than the GM offerings, and has the interior and tech to back that up. It's a really handsome truck.

If they slapped a Ford badge on this thing they would sell out instantly. Still one of the biggest selling points for the Titan was missed in this review...the best warranty in the business. Nissan has got to figure out a way to better market that warranty if they are going to have a chance against the big three. Maybe they could say, hey if you're going to have a $everal year loan on your truck, wouldn't you like to have our warranty along with it? Nice vid Sofyan!

Drove very nicely ( I drive a tiny hatchback but had no issue driving the truck), lots of cabin room, controls easy to find and use and drove well during night time driving. That screen in the dash was on the truck as well. The only thing I would complain about was the short bed and no running boards.

Nice video, I enjoy watching the in depth reviews on the vehicle that most middle class people could afford. Although I am a Ford guy at heart, this truck has striked my interest. Even the older body style I liked. When they redesigned in 2016 I was definitely considering buying over the F150. I haven't made my decision yet as to what I'll buy, but these trucks have gotten more expensive but also nicer in Quality. it's a tough market to compete for sure! The Nissan is a great investment for value from my perspective. Now that they did a slight refresh it's making my decision a little harder haha. Thank you for the in depth review on this truck.

You are the FIRST person to review this truck and state the fact that..Yes topped out it is a $60,000 truck, but any of the other big 3 are going for $60 - $70,000 + range in the same trim level...you get a little more in different areas in different makes, but in my mind, what they offer for the extra cost isn't even worth a full $60,000 much less 70+ . We're talking a battle of inches in the differences of the trucks at that point. My truck is a tool, plain and simple. Without it, I can't work. Looking at it in those terms, I'll take the less expensive 5 year 100,000 mile warranty and cry about the lack of a heated rear seat after mine is paid off and I'm still driving it...

If you're spending $60k+ for a 1/2 ton truck, most people 'will not' be spending it at the Nissan dealership. Case in point, the Frontier sells well for Nissan and is ancient in design. However, its also the absolute hands down value king of the segment. Nissan trucks as a whole will sell, or they won't, based on price. And at $60k+, my bet is they won't.

They are discounted like 10-15k off MSRP.
